Accepting Christ as Our True Self

Every child of God is one in Christ, for his being is in Christ as Christ’s is in God. ²Christ’s Love for you is His Love for His Father, which He knows because He knows His Father’s Love for Him. ³When the Holy Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His Father, perception fuses into knowledge because perception has become so holy that its transfer to holiness is merely its natural extension. ⁴Love transfers to love without any interference, for the two are one. ⁵As you perceive more and more common elements in all situations, the transfer of training under the Holy Spirit’s guidance increases and becomes generalized. ⁶Gradually you learn to apply it to everyone and everything, for its applicability is universal. ⁷When this has been accomplished, perception and knowledge have become so similar that they share the unification of the laws of God.

What is one cannot be perceived as separate, and the denial of the separation is the reinstatement of knowledge. …³Very gently does God shine upon Himself, loving the extension of Himself that is His Son. ⁴The world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. ⁵For the real world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where everything eternal in it has always been. ⁶There the Redeemer and the redeemed join in perfect love of God and of each other. ⁷Heaven is your home, and being in God it must also be in you. (A Course in Miracles, T-12.VI.6;7:1,3-7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Our true Self is Christ, eternally united with our Father. This Self unites us with everyone, for our Father sees all His Children as His one Son. As we learn to forgive our perceptions of separation by accepting the Holy Spirit’s help, we learn to see our brothers united with us in Love. This learning process is our purpose in the world. It leads us ultimately to the knowledge of one Love and the remembrance of our Father.

As we are vigilant only for God and His Kingdom of Love, the veil of separation is dispelled. This vigilance is our heart’s desire. We want to remember that we remain at Home in God.
